Summary: Critical infrastructure is a key area in cybersecurity. In the U.S., it was front and center in 1997 with the report from the President’s Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, and now affects countries worldwide. Although there is more awareness of cybersecurity now, the threats have also evolved in the interim period. Critical Infrastructure Protection must address all types of cybersecurity threats – insider threat, ransomware, Supply Chain Risk Management issues, and so on. In this webinar, Dan and Nancy discuss the threats and actual attacks, mitigation methods, and education.
